Back to this one again. So I have done the basics and replaced bad tubes no more hum. Now the radio works kinda. Even the fm works with poor sensitivity. 

The question I have is on IF transformer Z302. The signal level is dropping from 4vpp to .04vpp through it yet it seems to tune OK. (measured with a X10 scope probe) From the drawings Z302 looks like it is a step up transformer.

The other IF transformer has a drop from 4vpp to .5vpp.

 Am I missing something here?

Upon further inspection and a different method of measuring I found that Z302 the input side has 4vpp and the output also has 4vpp.

I am still stumped as why there is such poor am reception. It seem there is not enough gain. and I don't know what is normal for this thing. I am tired of it for now I will work on it some more later.

Thats all for now.
